U-Pass (Image from Google)<\/p><\/div>\n

I believe weeks ago most of us have voted for keeping the U-Pass B.C. Program. The new price for student transit pass will increase from $30 to $35 in May 2013, then $36.75 in May 2014, and finally would rise to $38 from May 2015 to April 2016. The article U-Pass prices increase for Metro Van students<\/a>\u00a0mentioned the proposed price increase is not ideal, \u00a0but the use of U-Pass still saves lots of money comparing with a regular adults transit pass.<\/p>\n

I am a student who is really dependent on transit system, not only for my school life but also reflecting in my daily life. In weekends, It provides me with a relatively convenient way to hang out with my friends, shopping, visiting, etc. During weekdays, I experienced tough time in waiting in long line to catch a bus to school. \u00a0Especially during rush hours, it’s even harder to get on a vacant bus; and sometimes buses do not arrive on time. According to this, an increase in price will not be a good deal if transit program could provides students with more convenient transit environment. More buses during rush hours and arrive on time! \u00a0A term transit card instead of monthly one could be used to reduce waste cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
